Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Cook the pasta until very soft, following the packet instructions, and drain.

  2. Mix soft pasta with smooth vegetable sauce and finely shredded pasteurised cheese. Spoon into a small oven-safe dish, ensuring the pasta remains moist.

  3. Bake until piping hot throughout and cheese is melted, checking before the stated cooking time if using a shallow dish. Avoid a crisp crust. Cool, then cut or spoon into soft portions.

Serving by Age

Choose very soft pasta shapes, check that the sauce has no tough vegetable pieces and keep the top from forming a hard crust. Let cheese cool before offering, then cut into small manageable portions that match your baby's eating skills.

9 months+

Cut into bite-size cubes.
